C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research It's not all traction: the pseudo ‘fringe sign’ in frontal fibrosing alopecia
The pseudo 'fringe sign' can also appear in frontal fibrosing alopecia, not just in traction alopecia, showing that this condition may be more common than thought.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.

Trichohyalin in sheep hair follicles may help with structure and calcium binding.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
